I Tame Beasts by Feeding

"How... is this possible?"

Tang He looked down, struggling to focus on the Poisonous Tail Divine Hook that had pierced through his chest and back. His aura was weak.

The toxin from the Poisonous Tail Divine Hook coursed rapidly through Tang He's veins, destroying his Vitality and extinguishing any chance of survival.

He was beyond saving. With such a grievous wound, it took only a few moments for Tang He to be taking his last breaths, his Fire of Life flickering on the verge of being extinguished.

"Rest in peace. It's all over," Yu Changsheng said calmly, his expression placid as he exhaled and looked down at Tang He.

"Heh..." Tang He gave a bitter laugh, wanting to say more but unable to. The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

"I... refuse to accept this..."

As his final whisper faded into the air and the Fire of Life in his eyes was completely extinguished, Tang He fell.

"Patriarch!!"

The five remaining Qi Refining Cultivators of the Tang Family watched this scene, their faces contorted with grief. Tears streamed down as they let out anguished cries, their eyes filled with an unconcealable terror.

'Tang He? He was killed... just like that?'

The Tang Family members weren't the only ones in disbelief; so were Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji. They exchanged a look, seeing the same utter shock and incredulity mirrored in each other's eyes.

'This Yu Changsheng... he's actually this strong?'

The two of them sucked in a sharp breath, each unconsciously taking a step back. The wariness in their eyes was obvious.

"You brought this upon yourself. If you dared to send three Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hunt me down, you should have been prepared for the possibility of me turning the tables and killing you instead."

Yu Changsheng said coolly, shaking his head slightly. With a flick of his finger, a ball of Flame shot toward Tang He's corpse as he secured Tang He's Storage Pouch. He then turned to face Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji, his expression cold.

Without the protection of his Cultivation, and since Tang He was not a Body Cultivator, his physical body naturally couldn't withstand Yu Changsheng's Void Fire. Within moments, it was completely incinerated, its ashes scattering to the winds.

Hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Lin Kaiji and Huo Wei Yi fell silent, their expressions turning grave. After assessing Yu Changsheng's current condition, they quietly dismissed any unrealistic ideas they might have had.

'Those three Foundation Establishment Cultivators Tang He sent... he actually killed them all...'

'And not only that, but he also killed Tang He so easily. This young man is unfathomable. We can't afford to offend him; we can only try to befriend him!'

After taking a deep breath, Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji came to a decision, especially with Yu Changsheng's three Spirit Beasts circling nearby, watching them like predators.

They had no doubt that if they made a single suspicious move, an attack would follow in the very next second.

"What's this? Do you two Patriarchs have some ideas of your own?"

Ignoring Tang He's incinerated remains, Yu Changsheng stared at Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji and spoke coolly. His fingers twitched, as if he was about to strike at any moment.

Seeing this, Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji simultaneously forced smiles onto their faces. From a distance, they bowed slightly to Yu Changsheng, cupping their fists as they spoke:

"Fellow Daoist, your Divine Techniques are astonishing, and your Beast Taming skills are unparalleled. We are truly in awe of such celestial prowess! That Tang He didn't know what was good for him, daring to provoke you first. He deserved to die! This is truly a cause for celebration!"

"We would never dare to offend a disciple of the Wanxiang Sect!"

After speaking, Huo Wei Yi let out a long breath. His words weren't entirely flattery; a good portion of it was what he truly thought.

Regardless, Yu Changsheng had undeniably earned their respect with his strength.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Yu Changsheng nodded with a faint smile. His gaze didn't linger on them but suddenly shifted to the members of the Tang Family.

!!!

The Tang Family members instantly bristled. The moment Yu Changsheng's gaze fell on them, an immense terror exploded in their hearts.

Seeing this, Lin Kaiji slowly exhaled and followed Yu Changsheng's gaze toward the Tang Family members. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

How could they not understand Yu Changsheng's meaning? He was forcing them to take a stand!

As Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji silently took in the implications, they shot downward in the next instant, charging toward the Tang Family members.

The Tang Family members were filled with terror, their mental defenses completely shattered. They scattered and fled, while the braver ones tried to fight back.

But against two Foundation Establishment experts, what chance did a mere five Qi Refining Cultivators have? Within moments, the slaughter was over.

With this, every member of the Tang Family who had come to Red Lake Mountain was utterly annihilated.

Yu Changsheng watched coldly from the side, not interfering. His expression remained impassive.

'Cut the weeds and pull up the roots. Too much mercy is just cruelty to oneself.'

'This time, the Tang Family is truly finished. Even though there are still a few members back in Dongyang City, they are beyond saving now.'

'From this day on, there will be no Tang Family in Dongyang City!'

Huo Wei Yi and Lin Kaiji thought to themselves, unsure for a moment whether to be happy or rueful.

Without the Tang Family in their way, the previous three-way power balance had been reduced to just their two families. In some ways, this was certainly a good thing for them.

This was one of the reasons they had been able to strike at the Tang Family Cultivators without hesitation.

Ultimately, they wanted the Tang Family destroyed even more than Yu Changsheng did.

Soon, only Yu Changsheng, Huo Wei Yi, and Lin Kaiji remained. Besides them, there was only the Cyan Luo Beast on the ground, on the brink of death and unable to struggle.

Yu Changsheng said nothing, merely giving the two men a cool glance. They hesitated slightly. After a long moment, they both cupped their fists toward Yu Changsheng.

"In that case, we will take our leave. We wish you a smooth journey, Fellow Daoist."
